About

Recovering History is a blog space which recognizes the rich history readily available to everyone. It is a blog that goes beyond the standard curriculum available to what the average person is taught in their younger years. Recovering History’s goal is to make professionally interpreted history easily accessible and readily available to average people.

Recovering History’s author is Cody, a current graduate student in American History. Based out of the Northeast, Cody is a life-long student of history and self-certified professional amateur. Cody’s interests span centuries and geo-political spaces with the tendency to always focus from the “bottom up” of society. With being based in the Northeast, and the goal of this blog to stick with “accessible history,” much of the content will be in American history.

Professionally, Cody works in the field of Artificial Intelligence and capabilities which allow computers to analyze electronically captured documents. This blog will also involve the perspective of technology and it’s importance to an event or to the historiography of an event.

Author’s Note:

The purpose of this resource is to create something which is part travel blog, part historical blog. Whenever I take a vacation, or a short day trip, I like to visit some of the historical sites which may be significant to the area. This blog is about educating on history anyone can experience without missing a rent payment or taking out a second mortgage. More importantly, I will often highlight areas that are off the beaten path and therefore could use your visit! I originally planned to write one post a month, but life gets in the way.

All of the photographs on this site are my own. All of the photographs are also watermarked with the Recovering History logo. While I am not the world’s gift to photography, sometimes a blind squirrel finds a nut by accident and a photograph turns out great. With these pictures being watermarked, no one has permission to use them without express written consent from me. Nine times out of ten if you e-mail me I’ll give you permission, but you still need permission.
